The Sun Suddenly Hid! A Little Guide to Solar Eclipses
A friendly, simple encyclopedia-style picture book for children ages 3–6 that explains what a solar eclipse is. Milo watches the sky, meets Luna the Moon, and learns why the Sun can seem to hide — plus how to watch safely.
Milo looks up at the sky. The Sun is bright and warm.
Suddenly the Sun seemed to hide. A slow shadow moved across it.
Luna the Moon floated between Earth and the Sun. The Moon can come between them and make a shadow.
This is called a solar eclipse. The Sun looks smaller or can be covered for a little while.
The Moon's shadow falls on Earth. People under the shadow see the Sun change.
Never look at the Sun with bare eyes. Wear special eclipse glasses or use a safe viewer with a grown-up.
Eclipses are rare and special. Milo watches with wonder and learns something new.
